[NotSoRetro]

I will take a step back from story teller to speak to "RTP"...

RTP was a term I heard a lot about on my campus (particularly as a freshman), but never really saw in action. It means "rush to pledge" and was used to describe when a group of alumnae from a particular sorority would label a girl as the top PNM from their area. I really don't think this is something that happens -- when I later became involved in my own chapter as an officer and now as an alumna in the same region, I never actually saw evidence that alumna tagged women with any kind of special designation over another. But, the perception that it happens is out there, particularly amongst PNMs who go a whole semester hearing all sorts of crazy gossip and rumors about membership selection and recruitment.
